I was planning on using AdSense on my websites (I have 2) but then Google started cracking down on what you can and cannot do with your blog (more then the ‘paid to blog’ websites even!) and I decided that it wasn’t worth the worry.

I want more readers, and I will work ways to get more readers. Traffic exchanges can bring your blog more readers - therefore, your advertisers might benefit - what’s the problem here?

I feel like I am beating a lonely drum sometimes.

12 menu systems !
8 surfbars !
6 tutorials !
3 levels of referrals income!
1 external directory with NO reward !
and
0 external advertisers !

When a member views a webpage on our site, they are in the surfing area, one of the 8 surfbars mentioned.

They are not clicking a google adsense link any more than a person who visits any other site does.

There is NO incentive to do so !

That is why Blogexplosion, et al, are not banned from using google adsense.

With 12 menu systems, our website is a normal website, with no incentive in the normal areas.

There are incentives in the area called EARN.

The incentives are …

a) You will receive a visit back for viewing a members site. (Notice - not for clicking on an advert on that site - just viewing ok)
b) We will pay you to visit a members site, that member has paid us the 1 cent and we pay you 0.50 cents. (Notice - not $10 !)
c) We pay up to 88% referrals commission to any member with a paying downline - 3 levels make up that)
d) We encourage our members to ONLY buy from one another !!! (No kidding - some of our members only make sales from our site and say so !)
e) We have our own links directory - internally … members earn whatever amount of credits you want to pay them (We take 50% of that) - externally … you get free visits for ever , as long as oyu have any internal credits!
f) Clicksmatrix has ONLY members ads, banners, sites, at present. There is not ONE external advert, at all. ie No Competition for your advertising, just like minded folks doing their thing.
g) What are they doing there - well you see they are the most concentrated form of online marketer, advertiser and webmasters in the world - the cream rises to the top and gets the most sales - that is life !
h) With only 31,000 active members we receive 25-30,000 unique visitors per month.
i) The site is growing by nearly 1000 per month.
j) I will only say this one , I am going back to my free blog hosting website to post to my blog at http://blog.clicksmatrix.com/clicksmatrix
k) We have over 450,000 members on our largest sites.
L) When we get to a million members google adsense will have to compete with coka cola for ad space on our sites. At present , as I said, Clicksmatrix has no external sponsorships at all.
M) But we are in the market for a cool sponsor for our front page

I totally agree with samuro . This traffic is not very valuable. Better way is to leave links in forums, blogs, directories … Yes, that way the traffic will not come to Your blog fast, but this will drive the visitors You need. I think, better is to use the Time for the action I described, not for surfing.

There’re unreal visitors by using traffic exchange. they just click and surfing without know about the sites their visited.

Sometimes I think that Adsense is unfair. I do believe that traffic exchange can be used as spam but sometimes it might be used fruitfully too, as a forum for new blogs and sites.

But, I guess Adsense has to be strict till it finds a better way to combat invalid clicks.
